for a million 和 a prey to his doubts 分别是什么含义呢

I wouldnt have this double handicap make a false start to-night for a million, he said.

Ive got a little flat up in Harlem all ready, with chrysanthemums on the table and a kettle ready to boil. And Ive engaged a pulpit pounder to be ready

at his house for us at 9.30. Its got to come off. And if Rosy dont change her mind again! - Mr. McGowan ceased, a prey to his doubts.

1） for a million 到底的意思是呢？查看各种词典，没找到有关的讲解。

2） a prey to his doubts 非常难理解这是什么含义？

for a million 付出一百万元（或指美金，或指英镑）。for 表示“交换关系”。指 make a false start 所付出的代价。make a false start： 做出错误的开始；起步错误；出师不利。

a prey to his doubts： 怀疑的对象；疑虑的牺牲品。
